This week all the schools and high schools in Esplugues have chosen the best mascot of the Espluday 2010. It was not an easy decision but the winner was…
BOB!!!
Bob
Bob is from Africa. When he was a baby his parents abandoned him and one family of Esplugues adopted him. He likes sports. His favorite sport is football and his favorite team is Barça. His favorite food is pizza. “I love pizza””, he says. His hobbies are reading magazines, listening to music and playing football.
As a part of the Espluday 2010 activities, we will write a story with the Prat de la Riba school and the Joan Maragall school. We will write the first chapters of the story because we are the older ones. We will start the following week with the Introduction, and the first two chapters.
You will be able to read all the chapters and the story here!
In this unit we will study the most common adverbs of freqüency. The following chart shows the relative frequencies of these adverbs.
What are adverbs?
Traditionally an adverb is defined as a word that modifies a verb, adjective, another adverb, or a whole clause or sentence. There are many kinds of adverbs; common types include adverbs of manner that tell how (easily, quietly), adverbs of time that tell when (afterwards, later), adverbs of place and direction that tell where (there, downstairs, backward, up), adverbs of degree that tell how much (very, almost, extremely) and adverbs of frequency that tell how often (always, sometimes, never).
What do we mean by adverbs of frequency?
Adverbs of frequency tell us how often an action takes place.
Where do we put adverbs of frequency?
The basic rule is that adverbs of frequency come before the main verb but after present and past forms of be (am, are, is, was, were). In the case of tenses that use an auxiliary, we put the adverb between the auxiliary and the main verb.
In this unit we will study the vocabulary of the different places in a town and shops.
Below you will find some on-line exercises that you can do at home to reinforce the vocabulary that we have learnt in class and to learn some more. It will be very useful for your next trips abroad!

Durant aquest mes de novembre tots els alumnes de 1r d’ESO han dibuixat una mascota per a l’Espluday amb l’ajuda de la Marta, la professora de Visual i Plàstica. Després entre tots vam haver d’escollir les dues millors mascotes de cada classe. La elecció va ser difícil, però aquestes van ser les mascotes guanyadores, que competiran amb les mascotes de les altres escoles i institus d’Esplugues per ser escollides com a la mascota oficial de l’Espluday 2010.
This week we are going to watch “The Simpons” movie in English. This is a short summary of the film:
“Homer accidentally causes a radioactive leak from the Nuclear Radioactive Plant into the river which could dome Springield forever. Homer must save the city and rescue his family”.
I recommend you to have a look at The Simpons Movie web page where you will find some interesting information about the film, you will be able to play some games and even do a tour on Springfield. I hope you enjoy it!
As I always tell my students, it is important to know all the irregular verbs by heart. It may sound a little bit difficult at the beginning but there are a lot of fun games and activities on the Internet to help you memorize them. I have selected some games for you to practice.
